Sunnydale After Dark
Summary: Buffy Summers is starting at a new school in a small town in the Pacific Northwest. Will she be able to navigate school drama, wacky locals, and making new friends? And what will happen when she’s paired with irritating foreign exchange student Spike on a school project? And what will happen when mysterious crimes start happening around town?
Short answer: hilarity ensues.
Cheesy high school romantic comedy turned very silly mystery.

Story Notes: This is set in an (all human) alternate reality. Instead of Sunnydale, I set it in a small town in the Pacific Northwest. I took heavy inspiration from canon events, but altered the timeline a lot. I also set this in present day (2023 as of writing this), so expect to see some modern technology.

It's always hard to start at a new school, but I think Buffy is having a particularly bad time...

I borrowed some dialogue from the intro. Trust me, you'll know it when you see it.

Also I would like to apologize for making you read the awful stories that Buffy's classmates came up with.
